Jen has a fascination with perfume and specifically the history of perfume and is the perfumer behind Immortal Perfumes, a micro-perfumery specializing in historically inspired scents. Her creations have been featured in New York Magazine, The Los Angeles Times, and Seattle Met among others.

Jen researches and writes about historical figures and their fragrances for her popular TikTok channel. She also writes fiction and has been published in several anthologies.

Nelson and Alexandra had a wonderful and insightful conversation with Jen about the Perfumer Adolf Saalfeld, a German-born Jew, who boarded the Titanic with plans to sell his fragrances in New York City. In his rush to leave the ship as it sank, he left samples of his scents behind. In 2001, salvage experts recovered 62 perfume vials from the case, some of which still contained the original scent.
